Pareto improvement proposal:
- Russia pays Ukraine $100bn
- LPR and DPR become independent
- Ukraine calls a new election in which Russian citizens are treated as Ukrainian for the purposes of campaigning/financing
This is better for Ukraine because before they would get all the bad things + a bunch of their stuff blown up and now they get $100bn
This is better for Russia because before they still spent $100bn on military stuff but also they got sanctioned and had their stuff blown up
@TetraspaceGrouping this assumes Ukraine will very likely loose, right?
@niplav Yep, this does (if Russia is less likely to get anything from invading, charge Russia more, which they would still benefit from because they're spending their military budget for a 1/X change of getting concessions, though it gets less Pareto because money and territory don't quite funge)
